Curler extinguished the Indian title to lands at this place, and the' following spring,

non-residents sold out their rights to permanent settlers.
For mutual safety they erected their cottages on the plat lying west of Ferry street,
which was fortified with stockadoes. Their farming lands, embracing the islands, and
rich flats lying on both sides of the Mohawk, produced bountiful crops of maize and

the mother church at Albany : and in spite of its exposed position as the frontier settle-
ment, the little hamlet prospered and grew in numbers and comforts until 1690, when
in one night, the 8th of February, the entire village was destroyed and the inhabitants
scattered or slain. Nothing better shows the hardihood and pluck of the survivors than
the fact that few if any of them abandoned the settlement ; they returned in the spring,
rebuilt their cottages and the little church, cast the seed into the earth, and amid many
alarms awaited the harvest. Though often threatened the place was never again attacked.
It is to this little band of hardy pioneers and their descendants that the following pages
are mainly devoted. The sources of this compilation are chiefly the Doop and Trouw

A KEY TO THE NAMES OF PERSONS
OCCURRING
En t\)t ©atlg Butrij Hecorts of aiiang antr Utchutg.
The student who searches the early Dutch records meets with many difficulties, none of which are more 2
t'ous than their personal names. The majority of the First Settlers ordinarily used no surnames, some evid'
had none. In these cases individuals were often distinguished by personal peculiarities, trades, &c, wl
though sufficient for the time, give little or no aid to one tracing the pedigree of a family. It is only after £
familiarity with the early writings and a careful noting of the use of surnames as they are sometimes subscr
to wills, conveyances, and other important papers that any connection can be established between a first sej
and his later descendants. But while many individuals had no surnames whatever apparently,,a few families
two or more. Marcelis Janse Van Bommel was farmer of the burger and tapster's excise of liquors in B(
wyck many years. Some of his children took Marcelis as their surname, others Van Iveren ; without a ki
ledge of this fact it would be quite impossible for his descendants to trace back their pedigree to him. A sin
case occurred in the Albany branch of the Bratts. In the passage over from Holland one child was born a
in a storm and he was named Storm Van Derzee, which epithet he and his descendants have since used
surname. It was not uncommon for the same individual to have two or more surnames and to use ther
differently. Jan Barentse Wemp [Wernple] was sometimes called Poest ; he had a mill on thePoesten kilw
perhaps derived its name from him rather than from the Dutch word poesten. After his death in 1663 his wi
Maritie Myndertse married Sweer Teunise. He had two surnames, Van Velsen and Van Westbroeck.
Fort of Niskayuna had the following aliases; Jan La Fort, Jan Vandervort and Jan Libbertee. The chanj
the spelling and pronunciation of names is likewise a source of considerable embarrassment. Who w
recognize the ancient Du Trieux (pronounced Du Troo) in the modern Truax, or Beaufils in Bovie, or Barro
Barroway, or finally the familiar name of Jones in such laughable disguises as TSans, TJans. and Shawns.
The system of nomenclature in common use among the early Dutch settlers consisted in prefixing the ch
to the father's Christian name, terminating in se or sen; in baptism but one name was usually given:
patronymic was used by custom in all cases, and in the absence of a surname was sometimes adopted as s
Thus the children of Rutger Jacobsen (Van Schoenderwoert or Van Woert) were respectively Margaret Rut
Engel Rutgers, and Harmen Rutgers, and Rutgers was subsequently assumed as the family name. The
sons of the First Settler Wynant Gerritse (Vander Poel) were Melgert Wynantse and Gerrit Wynantse. The ]
settler, Harmen Tomase Hun (Van Amersfort) had a son named Thomas Harmense and a daughter W]
Harmense. The. First ■ settlers Philip and David Schuyler, were more commonly called Philip and I
Pieterse, being sons of Pieter Schuyler. Occasionally two patronymics were used, as Samuel Arentse Sami
Bratt ; i. e.. Samuel Bratt the son of Arent, who was the son of Samuel. The use of surnames gradual!
creased among the Dutch from the time the province was occupied by the English in 1664, and after the
quarter of the following century few names were written without the addition of a family name. A li
given to serve as a key to such surnames as are occasionally or almost constantly omitted in the an<
Dutch Records of Albany and Schenectady. It is as nearly full as the compiler, after a somewhat ca
reading of these documents, can make it. The names of persons without surnames, or if having them 1
not entered in those records, will not of course be found here ; unfortunately these are somewhat numerous,
other embarrassment in the identification of persons arises from the fact, that some bear the same Chris
name. When such cases occur in the list, the dates annexed will sometimes aid in solving the diffic
Thus the surname of Jacob Abrahamse, found in documents dating 1665-84, was Vosburg alias Kuy
in those of date 1705, it was Van Deusen. But where there is little or no difference in the dates this help i
and all is left to conjecture. j.

BANCKER.
G-ERRIT, came from Amsterdam, where
his brother Willem was a merchant as late

Arent Van Curler began the settlement of
Schenectady in 1662, he became one of
the original fifteen proprietors. Farms
number six on the Bouwland, were allotted
to him, and his village lot comprised the
northerly quarter of the block, bounded
by Washington, Union, Church and State
streets. His son Evert held this property
till 1702, when he disposed of it to Isaac
Swits. G-errit Bancker married Elisa-
beth, daughter of Dirk Yan Eps, and
sister of Jan Yan Eps, one of the first
settlers of Schenectady. After the death
of her husband, Mrs. Bancker removed to
New York and engaged in trade. She
died July 3, 1693, aged 70 years, leaving
a large property for those times, to her
only son Evert. Besides Evert, who was
born in Albany, Jan. 24, 1665, Mr. Banc-
ker had a daughter Anna, who married
Johannes De Peyster of New York, Sept.
21, 1688, and perhaps a dau. Maria
licenced to marry Cornelis De Peyster,
also of New York, Sept. 19, 1694.

in Albany, but retired to his farm in
Gruilderland during the latter part of
his life ; he was buried on the 10th of
July, 1734; 1692 he was justice of the
peace; 1695-6 and 1707-9 mayor of
Albany ; he m. Elisabeth, dau. of StofFel
Janse Abeel, Sept. 24, 1686; she was
born Mar. 23, 1671, and was buried
Mar. 20, 1734. His home lot in Al-
bany, was on the south side of Yonker
[State] street, next east of his father's,
and fourth east of Pearl street. He made
his will Mar. 13, 1734, proved July 31,
1734, in which he gave to his son Jo-
hannes £50, " provided he continued to
live with me till my decease, or till I dis-
pose of my farm where I now live." He
mentioned the following children, who are
to share alike in his estate : Christoffel,

Two brothers of this name, Albert An-
driese and Arent Andriese, were among
the early settlers of Albany. They often
went by the name of De Noorman. The
former remained in Albany, and is the

county ; the latter became one of the first
proprietors of Schenectady in 1662, about
which time he died, leaving a widow and
six children. His wife was Catalyntje,
dau. of Andries De Vos, Deputy Director
of Rensselaerswyk. After the death of
her husband, the grants of land allotted
to him, were confirmed to her. Her
home lot in the village, was the west
quarter of the block bounded by Wash-
ington, Union, Church and State streets,
being about 200 ft. sq., Amsterdam
measure. On this lot her grandson,

CLINCH.
Robert, kept an inn on the south side
of State street, next east of Water street
alley. At this house Washington stopped
in his tour through the country in 1786.
As early as 1774, he is said to have kept
"a good house of entertainment." He
died about 1786, when his widow, Han-
nah mortgaged the lot on the south cor-
ner of State street and Water street alley.
Ralfe, perhaps son of Robert, died at
Niagara, U. C, on the 19th Jan., 1828,
of a paralytic affection, aged 68 yrs. He
was a native of Schenectady, where he
lived until the commencement of the
Revolution, when he joined the Royal
Standard as a cadet in the 42d regiment,
and for his conduct in the action which
terminated in the capture of Burgoyne,
he obtained a commission in the 8th, or
King's regiment, and shortly afterwards
a lieutenancy in Butler's rangers, in
which he served until the reduction of
the corps in 1783. He was then ap-
pointed a clerk of the peace establish-
ment under the government of Quebec,
and after the division of the Province,
he was continued in that situation in
this district until his death. — Niagara

CLUTE.
Of this name there were three indi-
viduals who early became residents of
Albany or its vicinity — Capt. Johannes,
Johannes his nephew, and Frederick.
Capt. Johannes Clute came to Bever-
wyck about 1656 from Neurenbergh, was
a trader and considerable land holder, at
Loonenburgh, Niskayuna, Albany &c.
He was held in esteem by the Indians,
from whom he obtained extensive tracts
of land. It is not known that he had
any family. On his death, his property
passed to his nephew Johannes Clute,
the boslooper.

Settlers of Schenectady. 39
Johannes, alias de bosloojper, nephew
of the last, settled in Niskayuna upon
land received from his uncle. In 1707
he conveyed the Great Island in the Mo-
hawk at Niskayuna and other lands to
Robert Livingston for £706 to free him-
self from embarrassments. In 1692 he
being a prisoner in Canada, his wife
Baata managed his affairs at home. On
the 28th of June she cited Sander Glen
and Barent Wemp, administrators of
Sweer Teunise Van Velsen's estate, be-
fore the court at Albany, demanding of
them " nine pounds, six shillings and six
pence for ye remaining pay1 of a negro
named Jacob sold by old John Cloet to
Sweer Teunise, and produces ye book of
s1 John Cloet Senr, kept by her husband,
John Cloet Jun'v" The defendants asked

EENKLUYS.
Hans Janse, is worthy to be remem-
bered as the donor of the Poor Pasture to
the poor of Schenectady. In 1632 he was
one of the Dutch West India Company's
officers, who erected the Arms of the
States General at a spot called Kievit's
Hoeck (Saybrook), at the mouth of the
Connecticut river. In July, 1648, on
the occasion of G-ov. Stuyvesant's visit
to Rensselaerswyck, he was employed to
clean the Heer Patroon's cannons, and to
fire the salute. He was an ancient man
in 1680, and apparently without relations
in this country, and made the Deacons
of the church his administrators and
legatees, on condition that he should be
supported in his old age and weakness.
After his decease in 1683, the deacons
applied to the Court of Albany for power
Genealogies of the First Settlers of Schenectady. 65
to administrate upon his estate, saying
that Eenkluys had been weakly for 13
years since 1670; that they had sup-
ported and buried him: the Court re-
ferred the matter back to the Court of
Schenectady. The original quantity of
land was 18 morgens, being that portion
lying west of, or above the Hansen kil
(now College brook) ; that portion lying
east, or below the creek, called the Boght,
was bought of Harmanus Yan Slyck in
1806, for $1,750. The whole was sold
in 1863 for about $10,000 to pay the
debts incurred in building the present
church edifice.

GROOT.
Symon Symonse, the first settler, came
early to New Netherland in the service
of the West India Company, as boatswain
of the ship Prince Maurice. In 1645 he
bought a house and lot of Jacob Roy, in
New Amsterdam. Soon after he came
to Beverwyck, where he purchased or
built a house, which in 1654 he offered
for sale. He had lately withdrawn from
the service of the West India Company,
against whom he then held a claim for
services of 834 guilders. In 1662, being
about to remove to the Esopus, he em-
powered Johannes Withart to sell his
house and lot ; but it is evident that he
changed his purpose, for in 1663 he hired
a bouwery of 25 or 30 morgens, of Gerrit
Bancker and Harmen Vedderen, at Sche-
nectady, and still retained possession of
his house in Albany as late as 1667.
His house and lot in Schenectady, was
on the north side of Union street, 100
Amsterdam feet westerly from Church
street, running through to Front street,
and remained in the family more than a
hundred years. He m. Rebecca, dau. of

published by the late Judge Sanders,
Sen., in the Albany Gazette :
" On Thursday, the 4th instant, about four
miles from the city of Schenectady, aside the
Mohawk turnpike, sitting under a tree, I dis-
covered Petrus Groot, who was supposed to
have been slain in the Oriskena battle under
General Herkimer on the 6th of August, in
the year 1777. I immediately recognized him,
and on conversation with him, he confessed
himself to be the person I took him to be. I
then carried him to the nearest, tavern,* where
I left him to be sent to his children and bro-
thers, from whence, however, he departed
before day the next morning, and was seen
in Albany on Friday. His mental faculties
are much impaired, supposed to have been
occasioned by a wound of a tomahawk near
the fore part of his head, though he is at most
times tolerably rational. His head is bald ;
the circle or scar of the scalping knife is
plainly to be seen on it, and a stab on the
side of his neck near his shoulder ; has a
small scar near his ancle ; is a middle sized
man, has blue eyes, a long countenance, and
stoops much in the shoulders. He speaks
English, French, Dutch and Indian, and says
he has been last a prisoner among the Indi-
ans north of Quebec ; had on an old dark
grey coat and old brownish pantaloons ; has
a large pack with him. He refused to go
home, as one of his former neighbors whom
he saw, would not recognize him, he was
fearful his children and brothers would not.
He said he would go to the governor's. Be-
ing at times deranged, it is feared he will
* The house to which he was taken, was occupied
by Simon Van Patten, better known as Cider Simon,
from the circumstance of his manufacturing large
quantities of cider annually. "Van Patten identified
him by a mark on his leg, occasioned by the bite of
a rattlesnake, which he remembered from the circum-
stance of its having been cured by an Indian applying
a leaf through which he sucked the poison with his
mouth, leaving it perfectly free from soreness.
stray too far away for his friends to find him.
He is of a very respectable family and con-
nexions. Any person who will take him up
and bring him to the subscriber, at Schenec-
tady, shall be well compensated for his care
and trouble, and will receive the sincere
thanks of his children and relatives, and be
the means of relieving this poor unfortunate
man from distress by restoring him to his
family and friends.

of age. He was a lieutenant in the militia at

MYNDERTSE.
Two brothers, Myndert and Carsten
Frederickse, smiths, were among the early
settlers of Beverwyck. They came from
Iveren. Among other real estate in the
village, they owned the north corner of
State street and Broadway, and had their
smith shop without the south gate, on the
north corner of Broadway and Spanish
(now Hudson) street. They were mem-
bers of the Lutheran church of which
Myndert was elder and Carsten deacon
in 1680. The latter died probably about
1690, leaving four children. Myndert
Frederickse was armorer to the fort in
1697; made his will March 21, 170f,
proved May 1, 1706, in which he spoke
of "my house hard by the church in
Cow street" (now Broadway), and of
" my (Lutheran) church book with silver
clasp and chain." He m. first, Cathalyn
Burchhard (Burger) in New Amsterdam,
Aug. 5, 1656; and secondly, Pietertje
Teunise Van Vechten in 1663. At the
date of his will he had five Ch. living :
Frederick, b. in 1657; Burger, b. in
1660; Neeltie, m. Hendrick Douw; Rei-
nier and Johannes. [See Albany Fami-
lies.'] The unsettled condition of the
early Dutch family names is well shown
by the descendants of Myndert Frede-
rickse who follow : Some took the sur-
name of Myndertse, his christian name,
whilst others took that of Van Iveren, the
place from whence he came in Holland.
Johannes, son of Myndert Frederickse
of Albany, came to Schenectady about
1700 ; by trade he was a blacksmith and
armorer to the fort, and like most other
inhabitants of the village, an Indian
trader. In 1723 he was arrested by the
sheriff of Albany county, and brought
before the common council for having,
contrary to the ordinances of the city of
Albany received into, and harbored in
his house, Indians with beaver and other
peltry. Whereupon he was fined £10,
and in default of payment the sheriff was
ordered to keep said Myndertse safely in
the common jail, from whence, however,
he shortly after escaped. To punish the
sheriff for his negligence or connivance,
the common council resolved that he
126 Genealogies of the First
Settlers of Schenectady.
should pay Myndertse's fine and costs. To
obtain a fair and impartial verdict in his
case, Myndertse appealed to the supreme
court of the province sitting in New
York, and gained his case ; the common
council was mulcted in damages, fees and
costs in the sum of £41, 9, 3. It is be-
lieved this decision effectually established
the rights of citizens of Schenectady to
the same privileges of trade as the citi-
zens of Albany. Johannes Myndertse
made his will May 4, 1754, proved Sept.
7, 1757, in which he spoke of his three
sons Myndert, Jacobus and Reynier, and
distributed his estate between them. He
then owned property on the west corner
of Mill lane and State street, also on the
north side of State street at No. 93, and
east of it, where he had a blacksmith shop
and a bolting house. He m. G-eertruy,

smith, m. Maria, dau. of Jan Barentse

made his will in 1756, proved July 18,
1763, and spoke of his wife Maria, sons
Johannes, Barent and Harmen, dau.
Geertruy, Margarita and Sarah. He gave
to his son Johannes his blacksmith shop

SCHERMERHOOREN (Schermer-
horn).
Jacob Janse, was born in 1622, in
Waterland, Holland, it is said; though
in 1654 his father was living in Amster-
dam. He came to Beverwyck quite early,
where he prospered as a brewer and trader.
In 1648 he was arrested at Fort Orange
by Governor Stuyvesant's order, on a
charge of selling arms and ammunition
to the Indians. His books and papers
were seized, and himself removed a pri-
soner to Fort Amsterdam, where he was
sentenced to banishment for five years
with the confiscation of all his property.
By the interference of some leading citi-
zens, the first part of the sentence was
struck out, but his property was totally
lost. These proceedings against Scher-
merhorn formed subsequently a ground
of complaint against Stuyvesant to the
States General. [(2' Cattaghan' 's Hist.
JSf. Y. I., 441.] He made his will May
20, 1688, and soon after died at Schenec-
Genealogies of the First Settlers of Schenectady.

1 Reyer, son of Jacob Janse, m. Aria-
antje, dau. of Arent Arentse Bratt, and
wid. of Helmer Otten of Albany, in July,
1676, at which time, in anticipation of
this marriage, she made a contract with
the guardians of her dau. Catharine Hel-
merse Otten, by which she mortgages her
farm at Schenectady, for the payment of
225 beaver skins to said dau., when she
arrived at mature age or married, also to
give her one-half of her late husband's
property in Holland. The dau. subse-
quently m. Gerrit Symonse Veeder.
Reyer Schermerhorn settled in Schenec-
tady ; was one of the five patentees of the
patent granted in 1684, and was the sole
surviving patentee of the township in
1705, when he was complained of as
exercising arbitrary power over the town
affairs and rendering no accounts of his
proceedings. In 1690 he was member
of the Provincial Assembly from Albany
county, and Justice of the Peace. In
1700 he was appointed assistant to the
Judge of Common Pleas. Bouwery No.
4, together with the mills, heretofore
called " Schermerhorn's Mills," after be-'
longing to this family nearly 200 years,
has lately passed into other hands ; this
property came to Reyer Jacobse through
his wife Ariaantje, whose first husband,
Otten, purchased it of the original pro-
prietor, Pieter Adriaense Soegemakelyck.

morgens, 296 rods of land, which he sold

[Patents G G 129 and H H 23.] Feb.
7, 1664, Ariaentje Cornelissen, wid. of
Cornelis Claese Swits, and wife of Albert
Leenderts of New Amsterdam, presented
a petition to the governor and council,
praying, that as her farm had been cut
up into lots and distributed among the
settlers in Harlem, she may be released
from a debt due the West India Company
by her late husband, who had been mur-
dered by the Indians in 1655; granted.

13, 1663, by Wiliem Teller of Bever-
wyck as his bouw-knecht to work his
bouwery at Schenectady; during the
summer following, while at work on Tel-
ler's land on the Groote Vlachte, he was
accidentally killed by Philip Hendrickse
Brouwer with a gun, for which offence
Brouwer was acquitted both by the go-
vernor and by the friends of the deceased.

nelis, settled in Schenectady in 1664, in

Petten hired Wiliem Teller's bouwery,
gelegen op Schanechtede bestaende in
woonhuys, Schuer-beryh en bouwlant in

meter No. 5 &c. His village lot was on
the west side of Washington street oppo-
site the west end of State street. At the
destruction of the town, Feb. 9, 1690,
he was carried away captive with his
eldest son, but returned the following
July. During his absence, a parcel of
land owned by him, probably near the
junction of Green and Ferry streets, was
taken by order of the governor for the
erection of a new fort. He repeatedly
petitioned the governor and council, once
Nov. 2, 1704, and again Oct. 21, 1706,
for remuneration in money (£30), or for
a land grant. On the 16th of April,
1707, the Indian proprietors gave him a
deed for 1,000 acres of land lying along
the south side of the Mohawk river, ex-
tending from the Aalplaats to Rosendal,
a patent for which was granted to Isaac
Swits's son, Cornelius, October 2, 1708.

TELLER.
Willem, the first settler of the name
in .New Netherland, was b. in 1620. In
a deposition made July 6, 1698, he stated
that he arrived in the province in the
year 1639, was sent to Fort Orange by
Gov. Kieft, served there as corporal in
the West India Company's service, was
then advanced to be Wachtmeester of the
Genealogies of the First
Settlers of Schenectady. 189
fort; that lie had continued his residence
at Albany from 1639 to 1692, with some
small intermissions upon voyage to New
York, Delaware, and one voyage to Hol-
land. He was a trader about 50 years in
Albany, from whence he removed to New
York in 1692, with his sons. He was
one of the earliest proprietors of Sche-
nectady in 1662, though probably never
a permanent resident there, and one of
the five patentees mentioned in the first
patent of the town granted by Gov. Don-
gan in 1684. His allotments on the bouw-
landt were numbered five, the foremost
lot lying on the west side of, and sepa-
rated by the Teller's killetie, from Elias
Yan Gyseling's plantasie ; and his vil-
lage lot, 200 feet square, was on the east
corner of Union and Washington streets.
All his real estate in Schenectady was
given, in 1700, to his son Johannes, who
alone remained behind when the family
removed to New York. He made his will
Mar. 19, 1698, proved in 1701, and though
a prosperous merchant, the inventory of
his property amounted to only £910,
10s., 6p. ; there is reason to believe, that
as in the case of his Johannes, he had
distributed most of his property among
his children before his death. His first
wife was Margaret Donchesen ; she died
before 1664, in which year he made a
marriage contract with, and (April 9) m.
Maria Varlett, wid. of Paulus Schrick ;
she d. in 1702, the year after the death
of her husband; the inventory of her
estate amounted* to £1,275, 12s., 9p.

Carel Hansen, first settled on land
near, or at Hoffman's Ferry, which he
bought of Hendrick Cuyler and G-eraldus
Cambefort on the north side of the river,
and of Johannes Luykasse on the south
side, which latter parcel he conveyed to
his brother-in-law, Jeremiah Tickstone,
who m. his sister Rachel. His lands on
the north side extended from Taquaatsera
or Droybergh kil, the boundary between
the 6th and 7th flats westwardly, to the
lands of heirs of Philip G-root, i.e. to
about " S warts Ferry." In 1712 he pur-
chased a parcel of land at Maalwyck, from
Joseph Clement, to which he removed.
About this time he also owned the lot in
the village of Schenectady on the south
corner of Union and Church streets,
extending eastwardly along the former
street, and including the Court House lot,
which latter lot, 100ft. front by 210ft.,
he sold in 1712 to Isaac Van Valken-
burgh for £53 ($132.50). Carel Hansen,

VAN CURLER.
A rent, was one of those characters who
deserve to live in history. His influence
among the Indians was unlimited, and in
honor of his memory, these tribes ad-
dressed all succeeding governors of New
York by the name of " Corlaer." He
possessed feelings of the purest humanity,
and actively exerted his influence in
rescuing from the savages such Christians
as had the misfortune to fall into their
hands, of whose danger he might receive
timely notice. On his marriage with
Antonia Slaghboom, the widow of Jonas
Bronck, about 1643, he visited Holland,
and on his return, moved to the Flatts
above Albany, where he had a farm. He
was proprietor of a brewery in Beverwyck
in 1661. Being a cousin of the Van
Rensselaers, he had considerable influ-
ence in the colony, where he was a magis-
trate to the time of his death. He was
one of the leaders in the settlement of
Schenectady in 1661-2, and on the sur-
render of New Netherland, was specially
sent for by Governor Nicoll to be con-
sulted on Indian affairs and the interests
of the country generally. He was highly
respected by the governors of Canada,
and the regard entertained for him by
M. Be Tracy, viceroy of that country,
will be best judged of by the following
extract of a letter which that high per-
sonage addressed him, dated Quebec,
April 30, 1667 :
" If you find it agreeable to come hither
this summer, as you have caused me to
hope, you will be most welcome, and
entertained to the utmost of my ability,
as I have great esteem for you, though
I have not a personal acquaintance with
you. Believe this truth and that I am,
sir, your affectionate and assured servant,
Tracy."
Having accepted this invitation, Mr.
Curler prepared for his journey. Grov.
Nicoll furnished him with a letter to the
viceroy. It bears date 20 May, 1667,
and states that " Mons. Curler hath been
importuned by divers of his friends at
Quebec to give them a visit, and being
ambitious to kiss your hands, he hath
entreated my pass and liberty to conduct
a young gentleman, M. Fontaine, who
unfortunately fell into the barbarous
hands of his enemies, and by means of
Mons. Curler obtained his liberty." On
the fourth of July following, Jeremias
Van Rensselaer writing to Holland, an-
nounces that " our cousin Arendt Van
Curler proceeds overland to Canada, hav-
ing obtained leave from our general, and
being invited thither by the viceroy, M.
De Tracy." In an evil hour he embarked
on board a frail canoe to cross Lake
Champlain, and having been overtaken
by a storm, was drowned, I believe, near
Split Bock. In his death this country
Genealogies of the First Settlers of Schenectady. 213
experienced a public loss, and the French
of Canada a warm and efficient friend.
[O'Callaghan's Hist. N. Netherlands I,
322.] Van Curler's village lot in Sche-
nectady was probably on the north cor-
ner of Church and Union streets, and
his bouwery, after his death called Juff-
rouw's Landt, comprised 114 acres lying
immediately southwest of the village.
After his death this farm was sold in
parcels to divers individuals. His wid.
continued to reside in Schenectady until
her death, Jan. 15, 167f . In considera-
tion of the loss of her husband in public
service, and of her house, barn and corn
by fire, she received a license from Gov.
Lovelace in 1672 to trade with the In-
dians. It was thought also, that her
license would stop the quarrels of the
other two tapsters, Cornelis Cornelise
Viele and Akes Cornelise Gautsh (Van
Slyck), the Indian. [Orders in Council,
p. 127.] Mrs. Van Curler's will was
admitted to probate in New York, and
letters of administration issued to Willem
Beeckman, Jan. 15, 1676. He reported
April 5, 1681, the proceeds to be 10,805
guilders, 17 stivers in beavers, debts
21,171 guilders, 7 stivers. [Court Pro-
ceedings, Albany, I 20, 51.] Mr. Van
Curler probably left no children.

VAN DEB BOGrART.
Harmen Myndertse, b. in 1612,
came to New Netherland in 1631 as sur-
geon of the ship Fendracht, and continued
in the West India Company's service until
1633, after which he resided in New Am-
sterdam until appointed commissary to
Fort Orange. He was highly respected,
though from all accounts, he appears to
have been of an irascible temper. An
instance is mentioned of his having at-
tempted, in the excitement of a high
quarrel, when both appear to have been
in a violent passion, to throw the director
general out of a boat in which they were
sailing on the river ; he was with diffi-
culty prevented from accomplishing his
purpose. He came to a violent death, I
believe, in 1647 or 1648, and Carl Van
Brugge succeeded him as commissaris at
Fort Orange. [O'Callaghan's Hist. New
Netherland.'] Surgeon Van Der Bogart
made his will in 1638, and left his pro-
perty to his wife, Jillisje Claese Schouw
of Zierickzee in Holland. After his
death his wid. m. Jan Labbadie of Bever-
wyck. Ch : Myndert, bp. in New York,

remaining with them three years effected
his escape in the following manner:
"169$, Feb. 8, Wed., about 2 o'clock

Settlers of Schenectady.
nectady, that the French and their In-
dians had taken the Maquas castles;
soon after we had the news that a young
man named Jan Baptist Van Eps (taken
at Schenectady 3 years ago) was run over
from the French, as they were to attack
the first castle of the Mohogs, and came
to Schenectady, who related that the
French were 350 Christians and 200 In-
dians/' &c. [ Colonial Documents, IV, 16.]
During his captivity he acquired a know-
ledge of the Indian language, and was sub-
sequently often employed as interpreter
and embassador to the Five Nations. In
1701 the sachems say, " Wee have a
small right in the Maquase river att Can-
astagiowne, to witt, five small islands con-
taining about five or six acres between
Rosendael and Cornells Tymesen's, which
wee give to Jan Baptist Van Eps and
Lourens Claese (Van der Volgen), the
two interpreters, to be equally divided
between them ; Jan Baptist to have the
uppermost halfe, and Lawrence the low-
ermost, and that in consideration because
they take much pains in interpreting."
[Colonial Documents, IV, 906.] In 1706
Jan Baptist lived upon the east corner of
State and Jay streets, the latter being
his private lane leading to his land in
the rear and along Cowhorne creek, upon
which he had a corn mill situated a few
rods below the present tan works. Isaac
Quackenbos became possessed of a portion
of his land extending east and north to
Prospect hill and Union street, which
land passed to his son, Johannes Quack-
enbos, whose dau. Maria, late wife of Mr.
Abraham O. Clute, inherited the same
Jan Baptist's house lot on State street,
extended from the west side of Jay street
to Cowhorne creek. Ch. bp : Johannes,

VAN SLIC HTENHOBST.
GrERRlT, son of Brant Aertse, was one
of the magistrates of Schenectady in
1672. [See Albany Families J\
VAN SLYCK.
There were two early settlers of Bever-
wyck of this name ; Willem, whose de-
scendants settled below Albany, in Colum-
bia county and elsewhere, and Cornelis
Antonissen, alias " Broer Cornelis, " so
called by the natives. The latter is said
to have married a Mohawk woman by
whom he had several children : Jacques ;
Marten Mouris; Hilletie and perhaps
Lea. Marten was in Beverwyck in 1661 ;
gave name to the island (now Van Slyck's)
lying in the Mohawk, west of Schenectady,
and d. probably early in 1662; Hilletie,
m. Pieter Danielse Van Olinda, and was
often employed as the provincial inter-
preter for the Five Nations ; Lea, m. first,
Claas Willemse Van Coppernol, and se-
condly, Jonathan Stevens. " Broer Cor-
nelis," d. in 1676. By reason of his emi-
nent services rendered in bringing about
peace with the natives, he received a
patent for a large tract of land at Cats-
kil ; he also owned land near Cohoes.
Jacques, son of Cornelis, was b. in
1640 at Canajoharie; his Indian name
was Itsychosaquachka; he was also some-
times called Aques Cornelyssen Gautsh.
The Mohawks gave him half of the island
in the Mohawk lying immediately west
of the city; also land five miles above
the city on the south side of the river.
In 1671 he was one of the two licensed
tapsters in the village. His wife was
Grietje, dau. of Harmen Janse Ryckman
of Albany; after his death in 1690, she
m. Adam Vrooman, Feb. 21, 169J. His
will was made May 8, 1690. The fol-
lowing children were living in 1697 ;
Harmen, eldest son ; Susanna, m. Samuel
Arentse Bratt; Grietje, m first, Andries
Arentse Bratt, and secondly, Harmen
Vedder; Cornelis; Geertruy, m. Johan-
nes Myndertse; Marten; Helena; Sytje;
Lidia, m. Isaac Van Valkenburgh. Of the
above children, Marten and Cornelis lived
upon the First flat, on land which was left
them by their father, and which is still
owned by the family.

a grant of 300 morgens of land at Cana-
joharie from the Mohawks because " his
grandmother was a right Mohawk wo-
man," and " his father born with us in
the above said Kanajoree" By his
father's will he also received 14 morgens
of land on the First flat. He made his
will Nov. 1, 1731, and left his sons, Adam

VAN VELSEN alias VAN WEST-
BROEK.
Sweer Teunise, one of the five pat-
entees of the town of Schenectady in
1684. In 1664 he m. Maritie Myndertse,
wid. of Jan Barentse Wemp, by which
marriage he became possessed of the
Poesten mill at Lubberde's land (Troy),
and a lot of land in Albany. About this
time he removed to Schenectady and built
a grist mill on Mill lane ; this was carried
away by a flood, and rebuilt in 1673. In
consideration of his loss, he was allowed
to take an eighth instead of a tenth, as
toll. In 1676 he was made magistrate
of the village. In the massacre of 1690
he was slain, with his wife and four ne-
gro slaves, leaving no heirs. Besides
half of Van Slyck's island, he owned the
land on the south side of State street,
from Church street nearly to Cowhorne
creek, and extending upon the low land
so as to comprehend about 25 acres. Be-
fore his death it was understood that he
had in his will devised a half or a third
of his property to the church, and the
remainder to his wife's children by her
first husband, but as this will, if it ever
existed, was burned in the massacre, the
church had no legal claim upon his estate.
A compromise was therefore effected in
1696, the church taking that portion of
his land lying on the south side of State
street, between Church street and Dock
street, together with the grist mill, and
his wife's heirs the remainder. [See Al-
bany Families.']

VEDDER.
Harmen Albertse, the first settler,
was a trader in Beverwyck before the
year 1657, when he sold to Rutger Ja-
cobsen his house and lot gelegen in de
doorpe beverwyck, hreet voor en achter
ses en dertich voet, lanch vier en sestich
voet en met aen ganch van vyfte voet end
breet lanch tot aen kil vjelcke gansch is
gelegen tusschen goossen gerritsen en den
vercooper &c. This lot was on the south
side of State street, between G-reen and
Pearl streets, ard extended back only to
the Rutten kil, now arched over and used
as a sewer. The price of this house and
lot was 2,325 guilders. In 1660 he re-
turned to Holland; 1661 as agent for
Dirk De Wolfe, merchant of Amster-
dam, he erected a salt kettle on Coney
island, which being claimed by the in-
habitants of G-ravesend, he brought a
suit before the governor and council to
make good his claim to it, and being
beaten, abandoned the enterprise; 1863
leased his bouwery at Schenectady to
Symon Groot for 6ys., at 500 guilders
rent; 1664 Harmen Vedder, William
Teller and Sander Leendertse Glen peti-
tioned Gov. Stuyvesant to have their
lands surveyed at Schenectady; 1668
being in Holland with other merchants
from the province of New York, he pur-
chased goods and chartered the ship
King Charles and petitioned the king of
England for permission to send the same
to New York, which was granted; 1667
he lived in Albany in a house belonging
to Dirk De Wolfe of Amsterdam, who,
having returned to Holland, Gov. Nicolls
ordered bhe house and lot to be con-
fiscated ; 1672 he bought of Dirk Hes-
selingh de bouwery (daer den voorz ;
Dirk Hesselingh op woont op Schenech-
tede),soo het landt, also huys, schuer ende
twee berghen, &c, soo als het de voor-
noemde Hesselingh van Jurriaen Teu-
nissen gecocht heeft gehadt, &c, to be de-
livered to Harmen Vedder the coming
May 1, 1672, together with the seed in
the ground ; this bouwery, No. 8 on the
Bouwlandt, comprised 12 morgens and
130 rods of land and now forms the
homestead of Col. D. D. Campbell of
Rotterdam; 1672 Harmen Vedder and
Barent Ryndertsen sold to Claese Janse
Van Boekhoven and Ryck Claese Van
Vranken een sekere stuck landts geleeghen
over de Rivier aen Canastagioene ; con.

lie was appointed one of the three magis-
trates of Schenectady j 1674 was sehout
of the village, and with the magistrates
was reprimanded for not showing due
respect for the magistrates of Willem-
stadt (Albany), and for pretending to the
privilege of Indian trade; he was par-
ticularly complained of because of his
conduct towards Capt. Schuyler and was
warned " to regulate himself accordingly."
His village lot on the north side of Union
street, was the same as occupied by the
late Doct. Alexander G-. Fonda, 51ft.
front and 404ft. deep Amsterdam mea-
sure, extending to Front street; he pur-
chased it of the heirs of Reinier, son of
Domine Schaets of Albany, after his mas-
sacre by the French and Indians in 1690.
His son Johannes occupied it after his
death, which probably took* place about
the year 1715, for on the 3d of May that
year, Arient Vedder, his brethren and
sister petitioned the common council of
Albany for the renewal of a release
("burnt at Schenectady when it was cut
off") of a lot owned by their late father
Harmen Vedder deceased, lying on the
south side of the city of Albany. The

VROOMAN.
There were three early settlers of this
name in Beverwyck and Schenectady.
Pieter Meese, settled in Beverwyck ;
m. first, , and secondly, Volckie Pie-
terse, widow of Gerrit Jan Stavast. In
1677 he lived in Joncker street near the
church; d. in 1684. His widow m.
Adriaan Appel, June 28, 1685. Pieter
Meese had but one son, Matthys, who
with his wife, Maria Arnoutse Viele,
made a joint will in 1684, in which they
spoke of only one child Geertruy.
Jacob Meese, carpenter and surveyor
of Beverwyck, m. Elisabeth, wid. of Ten-
nis Cornelise Swart of Schenectady. He
made his will July 20, 1691, proved
Sept. 22, 1691, wife Elisabeth executrix;
spoke of no children; his wife was to
occupy "my house by the bridge for-
merly Domine Schaets."
Hendrick Meese, the third brother
of this name, was living " behind Kin-
derhook" in 1670; same year leased of
Robert Sanders the long island called
JSteenrahy, for six years; 1677 moved
to Schenectady, where his home lot was
on the north side of State street, extend-
ing from Centre street to, and including
the Central R. R. depot. His bouwlandt
was a portion of Van Curler's land ; the
engine house of N. Y. Central R. R. Co.
southwest of the city, now stands nearly
in the centre of his land ; 1678 he mort-
gaged his house and barn lying opt voorste
enle van t' Qorpe Shaenhechtady , &c.
In the massacre of 1690 he was killed,
with his son Bartel and two negroes. He
left two sons, Adam and Jan.
Adam, son of Hendrick Meese, b. in
1649 in Holland, was naturalized in the
province of New York in 1715 ; in 1670,
by consent of his father, he bound him-
self for two years to Cornells Van den
Burgh to learn the millwright's trade for
Genealogies of the First
Settlers of Schenectady, 277
80 guilders and a pair of new shoes the
first year, and 120 guilders the second
year ; 1683 built a mill on the Sand hil
where the Brandywine mills now stand ;
1688 bought lands of the Mohawk sa-
chems at Fort Hunter; in 1690, when
Schenectady was attacked and burned by
the French and Indians, he saved his life
by his bravery in defending Ids house
which then stood on the west corner of
Church and Front streets ; on this occa-
sion his first wife Bngeitie, with her in-
fant child, wis killed, and his two sons
Barent and Wouter were carried away
captives to Canada; 1697 went to Canada
with an embassy to try to obtain the re-
lease of his sons (one of whom had turned
Catholic), his brother (Jan ?) and cousin
(son of Pieter Meese of Albany), all car-
ried away in 1690; 1703-1708 obtained
a patent for the Sand hil and adjacent
lands for mill purposes ; 1714 obtained
a patent for lands in Schoharie upon
which he settled in 1715; some of the
Palatines attempted to drive him off. He
commenced a stone house 23ft. square
by help of his sons, and had proceeded
as far as the second story floor beams,
when one night his unruly neighbors,
led on by one Conrad Weiser, entirely
demolished it. He then retired to Sche-
nectady and petitioned to the governor for
redress. The governor commanded the
sheriff of Albany to arrest said Weiser,
and succeeded, it is presumed, in stopping
the opposition to Vrooman's cultivating
his land. \Doc. History, ill, 412.] In
1726 he received an additional patent
for 1,400 acres for his son Pieter ; made
his will September 12, 1729, proved
June 13, 1730, spoke of the following
children, save Christina and Jannetie,
d. on his farm in Schoharie Feb. 25,
1730, and was buried in his private bury-
ing ground No. 35 Front street. He m.
first, Engeltie, secondly, Grietje Ryck-
man, widow of Jacques Cornelise Van
Slyck in 1691; thirdly, Grietje Takelse
Heemstraat, Jan. 13, 1697, in Albany.

APPENDIX.
THE G-LENNS OF BALTIMORE.
This branch of the family sprang from
Jacob Sanderse, son of Capt. Johannes
Glen of Schenectady, b. Feb. 27, 1686.
He left Schenectady when a young man
and went to Boston where, in company
with Oliver Wendell, he engaged in busi-
ness. Subsequently he removed to Mary-
land and settled, it is said, near Elkton,
Cecil county. It is not known whom or
when he married, nor whether he had
more than one child, Samuel.
Samuel, son of Jacob Sanderse, was
b. in 1737, probably in Cecil county; in
him the name first appears spelt with two
ns, and it has ever since continued to be
so spelt in Maryland. He m. June 7,
1762, Jane, wid. of William Beedle, and
d. in the city of Baltimore, on the 24th

attorney, and his commission was re-
newed by Mr. Monroe. In 1824 he was
appointed United States district judge
by Mr. Monroe. After being on the
bench for twelve years, he resigned in
